Burial Permits
A burial permit is required to bury, cremate or otherwise dispose of the body of a deceased person.
Permits are printed by some funeral homes on behalf of the family when funeral service arrangements are being made. Burial permits may also be obtained from a hospital registrar.
A cemetery will not consent to a burial, nor a crematorium to a cremation, without the prescribed burial permit.
For more information or clarification on the burial permit process, contact the Vital Statistics office.
